I don't mean this V-Day. This one has been great. Husband gave me a couple of new beads for my Brighton bracelet (Pandora-like) and Lady and the Tramp. I gave him...cards. Yeah, you read that right. Cards. One was an actual V-Day card with Pepe Lepew and his female kitten, the other was a Happy First Communion card. We started this tradition a few years ago where we get a bullshit card and a real card. Last year my BS V-Day card was a "Have fun at camp' one. Classic.
I digress. Valentine's Day is the anniversary of two things: It's the day we found out my father in law's liver was failing from cancer, thus making treatment no longer a viable option. It's also the day I had my second miscarriage. Talk about a shit storm that day. I can't help but think of Valentine's Day with a little sad face like this.. :-( My husband and I try to focus on good things, but these two events are always in the back of my mind. Again..sad face.. :-(
There are many things I have to celebrate this day. My husband, our respective families that love us very much, our menagerie of cats, our friends. But this year I have each one of you to send love out too. My new computer friends. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Where would I be without you?
I'm sending you all big hearts full of chocolate and roses. Big love to you all. Big huge love.
So sorry this day doesn't have the best history for you and your man. It sounds like you make the best of it. I'm so thankful for you, too! = ) Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've got the right attitude on a day that can be so tough! I LOVE your BS card thing. Fricking hilarious. Love, love, love right back 'atcha!
ReplyDeleteI am not a big Valentines day person either just because I don't need a holiday to tell me that I should show Matt that I love him but I love your BS card idea! Big hugs to you too!
